Deep-Blue Electroluminescence of Perovskites with Reduced Dimensionality Achieved by Manipulating Adsorption-Energy...

The lagging development of deep-blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) heavily impedes their practical applications in full-color display due to the absence of spectrally stable emitters and the mismatch of carrier injection capacity. Herein, we report highly efficient deep-blue PeLEDs through a new chemical strategy that addresses the dilemma for simultaneously constant electroluminescence (EL) spectra and high-purify phase in reduced-dimensional perovskites. The success lies in the control of adsorption-energy differences between phenylbutylamine (PBA) and ethylamine (EA) interacting with perovskites, which facilitates narrow n-value distribution. This approach leads to an increased exciton binding energy and enhanced surface potential, hence improving radiative recombination. As a result, an external quantum efficiency of 4.62 % is achieved in PeLEDs with a stable EL peak at 457 nm, demonstrating the best reported result for deep-blue PeLEDs so far.
